- there are 3 regions in the world that don't have major cellular infrastructures, Iraq, Afghanistan, and North Korea. We're taking care of both Iraq and Afghanistan, while the North Koreans are intent on continuing their march back to the 19th century.

GNUCash is an excellent accounting package, and their are at least 20 more projects to chose from. Commercial vendors, including my employer, will continue to enjoy a very large share of the market, but the shift I'm seeing in how software is sold and delivered compels me to view the open source projects as the big winners in terms of sequential growth. It's going to take a company, like Red Hat, to legitimize these projects, but it will happen.http://www.newsforge.com/software/04/05/22/193215.shtml
